Hannibal Bates is the latest meta human that The Flash has to deal with. The person known as “Everyman” is able to transform into any person he touches and at first, Barry believes he can’t touch him for fear of replicating his speed. But when Eddie is accused of a horrible crime, Barry has to do all he can in order to exonerate his friend. This is easier said than done, especially when Barry himself loses his identity to this unknown shape shifter.
While all of this is going on back at home, in Starling City, Cisco and Joe investigate the accident Harrison Wells was in 15 years ago. Captain Lance helps them while his daughter, Laurel Lance (aka the Black Canary) asks Cisco for some help of her own. Joe and Cisco investigate and find the evidence to prove to Caitlin and Barry back at home that their suspicions about Wells is correct.
After the drama with Eddie, he and Iris finally reconnect. Then he throws her for a loop when he admits that he is working with our lightning fast superhero. Of course, he neglects to inform her of the Flash’s identity.
The situation with Wells is coming to a head and we get to see the conflicting emotions Caitlin feels as she wrestles with the fact that the person who she believed in has been lying the whole time. Now that our team has made their discoveries, what more could possibly happen? Until next time, here are our top ten moments from “Who is Harrison Wells?”

3. Imposter
The imposter goes with Caitlin to S.T.A.R. Labs as she talks about how to stop the person she names “Everyman.” He is curious about how long her serum will take then attempts to distract her by kissing her, much to Caitlin’s confusion. Then Iris arrives to tell them what she has discovered after looking into crimes committed by people who swore they were innocent. Then, she shows them footage of the fake Eddie who used his left hand to do the shooting. Just as the imposter pulls out a gun, Harrison stuns him to protect the girls. They go to take him into the station, but the imposter escapes by turning into a young girl and pretending to be kidnapped.

2. Fighting the Flash
Barry gets a new serum from Caitlin that will help to stop the imposter and he is very confused when she acts awkward around him. Harrison has figured out that Bates can’t replicate Barry’s speed, so he can touch the metahuman. They track the imposter to the airport and Barry is not sure who the imposter will be. Eventually, he realizes Bates is impersonating an old woman and when she sees Barry, Bates shapeshifts into a security guard and runs off. Barry chases him and Bates turns into Flash. However because Barry is still faster, he is able to overpower Bates and stop him.

1. Lair
Cisco and Joe bring the remains back to show Caitlin and Barry that this is the true Harrison Wells. The person they have been working with is someone else entirely. Later, Cisco is going through a map he made of the building after the explosion so he could see what happened. They find a room that is not supposed to be there and they go to investigate. Barry is able to get into the secret room and all three of them see the Reverse-Flash suit. Then, Barry sees the hologram newspaper clipping that says he goes missing in nine years.
